Sunday 6;00 PM

Some good news tonight! We received 2 inches of lake effect snow (not forecasted) during the afternoon. This will NOT make the trails race ready, however it will improve the trails conditions. I personally want to encourage the SISU racers to come up and ski the trails here in Ironwood with the other recreational skiers this coming weekend. Skiers have been very happy with skiing in the woods on natural snow.

No videos or pictures today the 5 of us were so bundled for -3 degree grooming early this morning, we just hunkered down and got it groomed up. We groomed up 32 km today, no new tracks…yet. We groomed River, Popple, Memory returning on River, Bards, the Tamarack, blueberry to cold feet shortcut. We also groomed Jack Pine/ White Pine, Cherry, Deer Trail and Jacks Flats. 3 of us heading out early AM to groom, we are not planning to reset tracks yet. Tommorow we plan to groom more trails but will be “squeegee” grooming the new snow covering some of the debris we brought up over the last week. Check in the chalet for a personal report from Eric or Angela, nordic pulse will show are grooming paths but some may not be open or safe.

Partner giving Snow Cross some advice on grooming, Wide Track and Crasher listening….a fun breakfast after many days of grooming. What a great Grooming Crew! Missing in picture….(and breakfast) is Wolly Bully, Black Smith and Bull Dog. Picture by Pig Heart
